' Freedom from the Prison '...
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe,, a part limited in time and space.. He experiences himself,, his thoughts, and feeling as something separated from the rest,, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.. This delusion is a kind of prison for us,, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison,, by widening our circle of compassion, to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

The practice of Onmyōdō has a contentious history in Japan and,, for reasons that will become clear,, was outlawed for some time along with its close cousin,, Shugendō (修験道)..

In the 5th/6th centuries,, the principles of Yin-Yang, and the use of five elements were transmitted to Japan from China along with Buddhism and Confucianism..

' Musings of a Chinese Mystic '...
Musings of a Chinese Mystic is a collection of philosophical reflections attributed to Zhuang Zhou (Zhuangzi), an influential Taoist philosopher. The text delves into the nature of reality, the limitations of human knowledge, and the fluidity of identity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The work emphasizes the ineffable and transcendental nature of Tao (the Way), which lies beyond material existence and human comprehension. Themes include the impermanence of life and death, the importance of aligning with the natural order, and the futility of imposing rigid structures on the ever-changing world.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The text also explores the concept of ultimate harmony, where true wisdom involves embracing the unknown and finding peace in the natural flow of life. By promoting a detached, intuitive approach to existence, Chuang Tzŭ’s musings encourage a profound understanding of the self and the universe.................Zhuang Zhou .... from Sacredarchive.com

' What is Mysticism? '...
To many modern Christians,, words like "meditation," "mystic," and "mysticism" bring to mind Eastern religions,, not Christianity.. Certainly Eastern religions are known for their mysticism;, however,, mysticism is not only a vital part of the Christian heritage as well,, but it is actually the core of Christian spirituality.. Mysticism simply means the spirituality of the direct experience of God.. It is the adventure of "the wild things of God.",,,
----------------------------------------------
The direct experience of God is a kind of knowing,, which goes beyond intellectual understanding.. It is not a matter of "belief.".. It is marked by love and joy,, but it is not "emotional experience..." In many ways,, it is better described by what it is not.. To describe what it is,, we must use metaphors—the marriage of the soul to Christ,, the death of the "old man" and birth of the "new man,",, being the "body of Christ."..
-------------------------------------------------
Jesus proclaimed "I and the Father are one,," (Jn. 10.30) showing the world what the union of God and man can be.. Christian mysticism is about nothing else but this transforming union.
----------------------------------------------------------
Christ is the sole end of Christian mysticism.. Whereas all Christians have Christ,, call on Christ,, and can (or should) know Christ,, the goal for the Christian mystic is to become Christ—to become as fully permeated with God as Christ is,, thus becoming like him,, fully human,, and by the grace of God,, also fully divine.. In Christian teaching this doctrine is known by various names—theosis,, divinization,, deification,, and transforming union...
--------------------------------------
A common misconception about mysticism is that it's about "mystical experiences,",, and there are many volumes on such experiences in religious literature... But true mysticism is not focussed on "experiences" (which come and go),, but with the lasting experience of God,, leading to the transformation of the believer into union with God...

' What are We Seeking? '...
You may say that you are seeking Knowledge,, but, you are really seeking Happiness.. Happiness is a personal experience.. Happiness is also an ego experience.. Happiness is also a spiritual experience.. So, you have to ask yourself,, What is Happiness and why do I seek it?.. Happiness is non- pain,, Happiness is non-ego,, Happiness is Love,, Happiness is Truth.. This is a natural path that many have traveled before you.. these humans are well known to you.. Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Zoroaster, Francis of Assisi, and so on... These others have also sought Happiness.. you are no different.. you must walk the same path as these others.. The secret that these other souls have learned is that, to achieve Freedom and Happiness, is to throw away that which you believe is most valuable.. "The last shall be first".. This most valuable is "you".. If you understand this deeper meaning,, then,, this will be your last journey, and You will return to Happiness..................... thomas

' Several Kinds of Love '...
There are several kinds of love.. One is a selfish,, mean,, grasping,, egotistical thing,, which uses love for self-importance.. This is the ugly and crippling kind.. The other is an outpouring of everything good in you — of kindness and consideration and respect — not only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable.. The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but, the second can release in you strength,, and courage, and goodness, and even wisdom you didn’t know you had.

' Reincarnation '...
In the Secret Book of John,, reincarnation is placed at the heart of
its discussion of the salvation of souls.. The book was written by
185 AD at the latest.. Here is the Secret Book of John's perspective
on reincarnation:
....................................................................
All people have drunk the water of forgetfulness and exist in a state
of ignorance.. Some are able to overcome ignorance through the Spirit
of life that descends upon them.. These souls "will be saved and will
become perfect,"... that is,, escape the round of rebirth.. John asks
Jesus what will happen to those who do not attain salvation.. They
are hurled down "into forgetfulness" and thrown into "prison",, the
Gnostic code word for new body.. The only way for these souls to
escape,, says Jesus,, is to emerge from forgetfulness and acquire
knowledge.. A soul in this situation can do so by finding a teacher
or savior who has the strength to lead her home.. "This soul needs to
follow another soul in whom the Spirit of life dwells,, because she is
saved through the Spirit.. Then she will never be thrust into flesh
again."................... (Secret Book of John)
' The Only Truth '...
The only truth which is not a concept
is the sense of presence,,
here and now..

in the present moment
is the only truth.

'What is God ?..... Who are We ? '...
What is God?.. God is Light;, God is Life;, God is Love.. You see Light;,
you are given some experience of Light,, whether it is little or
more.. You feel consciousness and you feel a little separate from the
body.. You begin to see.. Now we say,, "It is my body;," but we do not
see it differentiated practically.. But then,, really we will
say,, "This is something like a coat,, to be taken off.." Naturally,,
God is Love and we are drops of the Ocean of All Love.. Naturally,,
Love is innate in us.. That sprouts forth;, and as it comes in contact
with that God-into-Expression Power,, which is Light and Sound
Principle,, it overflows.. This is the state of affairs - this is the
disease,, you might say,, that we are to set right.. For this purpose
we have joined various schools of thought called religions,,
.........................................
Who are we?.. We are children of Light under the control of mind and
the outgoing faculties.. We are so identified with the body and the

body;, otherwise we could have run away,, out of the body.. We cannot..

' The Crucifixion of Self '...
The problem lies within the definitions of self and non-self..
The first Reality is to acknowldge that You are not the false self called ego
and that You are actually Divine Consciousness..
This is called Enlightenment and requires the surrender of egoic consciousness..
This is our natural state and contains no ego but does contain 'Personality'..
This 'Personality' is called God and is the source of manifestation..
This 'Personality' is Us..
The Final Reality is the state of Nothingness or what is called 'Pure
Awareness'..
This is the Void of non-ego and non-Personality..
This is the place that some are speaking of..
This place is rarely achieved by humans while in the manifestations..
It is easier to surrender the 'Personality' of Divine Consciousness while within
the state of 'Divine Consciousness'..
This is the "Crucifixion of Self"..

Fortunately,, some are born with spiritual immune systems, that sooner or later, give rejection to the illusory worldview, grafted upon then from birth through social conditioning..

' The Seekers '...
This walk to Truth...
Below these words, are the Coptic Hymn..
They speak of sin,,
which they do not understand..
Sin is the distance between duality..
Sin truly means to be deceived..
Sin is the distance that You are from Reality..
So easy for me to say,, but understanding is another matter..
You are seeking to discover the Heart that already exists within You..
This 'you' and 'You' that I write about are most pleasing within the mind of discovery..
You as Consciousness wants a challenge,, as also we do..
Therefore,, We begin this walk to Truth...
